Chapter 28: The Appearance of a Monster Baby
My mind went blank in an instant. I looked at the big-headed baby in black clothes crawling towards me step by step like a caterpillar. Fear instantly filled my whole body.
It turns out that this is the baby boy in black!
The first time I saw its true appearance, I felt an indescribable sense of weirdness.
His head was very big, like an oval ball. Bloody tears were streaming out of his eyes which were not open. He was crying "Ah-ah-ah" in his throat, like the bell of hell urging people to die, making people's hair stand on end.
I curled up in the corner, trembling all over as I watched it approach, feeling like I was suffocating.
Getting closer!
Closer!
I can almost smell the blood on it!
By the way, did the previous generation of Night Watchmen, including Liu Bin, die in this way?
I have been so careful, but I never expected that I would end up following in their footsteps...
A boundless feeling of despair surged in my heart.
At this moment, I thought of many people... my mother lying in bed sick, the serious Chen Qianwei, and Cheng Xiaoyan who was sleeping soundly in 105.
Their faces flashed through my mind one by one, some clear, some blurry.
"ah--"
The baby boy in black raised his head. The crying stopped and was replaced by a strange and shrill cry like that of a wild beast.
It stretched out its shriveled arms, and the black nails on its palms were clearly visible...
"Fuck, why are you making so much noise in the middle of the night? Can't you let me sleep?"
In despair, I faintly heard someone coughing outside, followed by a burst of shouting and cursing.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but this voice always feels like Cao Fengjiao’s?
As soon as this fierce shouting and cursing appeared, strangely enough, the baby boy in black stopped moving forward, and his outstretched hand froze in the air, not taking another step forward.
I was wondering, when I heard a crisp "bang" and a glass window in the room exploded inexplicably as if it was hit by something...
Whoosh whoosh whoosh——
A stream of cold air kept pouring in from outside...
I shuddered, and the back of my head felt like it was hit with a hammer, and suddenly the head was spinning.
The next second, everything went black and I lost consciousness.
…
"Zhiyong, Zhiyong! Wake up!"
A familiar voice kept ringing in my ears.
There was a stinging pain on my face.
I opened my eyes blearily.
I thought I was in hell, until I smelled the familiar scent of Fulmarine and saw the girl with long , then I realized: "I'm not dead, I survived..."
Cheng Xiaoyan looked anxious. She slapped my face with her hands and kept calling my name.
"Stop filming, I'm awake..."
I said a little weakly.
Cheng Xiaoyan was stunned for a moment, then she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You really scared me to death. No matter how I called you, you wouldn't wake me up..."
I looked around—it was obviously Building D.
And where I am lying now is at the entrance of 105.
I am a little confused...
what happened?
I was clearly at 404 just now, how come I was back to 105 in the blink of an eye?
Did someone send me here?
Also, why did the shrew's voice sound so much like Cao Fengjiao's? Why did the baby boy in black suddenly stop moving after hearing that voice?
A series of questions emerged in my mind, and I couldn’t figure them out no matter how hard I tried.
"Zhiyong, what's wrong with you? I got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and saw you lying here. I was worried that you would catch a cold, so I wanted to wake you up, but you seemed to be dead asleep and I couldn't wake you up no matter what I did... Until now, you have just woken up." Cheng Xiaoyan looked at me strangely.
I was shocked and asked, "You mean, I slept here for a long time?"
"Yeah, I went out at around three in the morning and saw you lying here... Look at what time it is now?" Cheng Xiaoyan yawned and said with some complaint.
I took out my phone and checked: 6:45 AM.
I actually slept for nearly three hours?
Seeing that I looked strange, Cheng Xiaoyan asked me nervously if I had encountered something strange again.
I was worried that she was scared, so I shook my head and said, "No, maybe she has narcolepsy."
"You lied to me!"
Cheng Xiaoyan stared at me and said, "You must have encountered something strange again after you left 105 last night!"
I have a headache. I didn't expect this girl to be so smart.
Under Cheng Xiaoyan's repeated questioning, I had no choice but to tell her what happened last night.
It was said to be last night, but in fact it was only a few hours ago... At least, for me, the fear that penetrated deep into my bones is still unforgettable to this moment.
"Ghost wall? Baby boy in black?"
Cheng Xiaoyan swallowed her saliva. Even though she was brave, she turned pale after hearing my experience.
I smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't intend to tell you because I was worried that you would be scared... Now you're here, just wait for a nightmare tonight!"
Cheng Xiaoyan blushed and said stubbornly, "Don't worry, I won't have a nightmare. I'm just curious. You were clearly in 404, so why are you back here all of a sudden?"
"And that swearing voice, do you think it could be Cao Fengjiao?"
What she said reminded me, and I quickly stood up and walked towards Cao Fengjiao's nurses' lounge.
Through the door, I could hear snoring inside, as loud as a tractor.
"She's sleeping soundly, there's a 90% chance that it wasn't her." I turned around and gave Cheng Xiaoyan a wry smile.
Cheng Xiaoyan frowned but said nothing.
"Oh, by the way, there is a place where you might know the truth." I suddenly slapped my thigh and said.
"Where?" Cheng Xiaoyan asked curiously.
"monitoring room!"
I remember the first time I went to the monitoring room, it was Liu Bin who took me there. I have never been there since he had the accident.
Cheng Xiaoyan and I took the elevator to the basement level. It was just like last time, pitch black, and the air was filled with a dull smell. I didn't know where the switch was, so Cheng Xiaoyan and I fumbled around for a while before finally finding the light.
When we arrived at the monitoring room, we saw a pile of medical supplies piled around like garbage. We carefully walked around them and came to the worn-out display device.
I turned on the monitoring switch, adjusted the time to after 12:00 yesterday morning, and selected the screen on the first floor.
By fast forwarding and slowing down, you can clearly see that Cheng Xiaoyan and I came to Ward 105, and she was telling me something... At that time, she should be complaining about He Min. We stood at the door for a while and then walked out of Building D.
About half an hour later, we came back from outside...at that time, we returned from the morgue.
After sending Cheng Xiaoyan back to Ward 105, I sat down on the chair in the corridor next to it and stared at the ceiling in a daze.
Time passed by second by second...
My head was spinning, I slowly closed my eyes, leaned back in the chair and fell asleep...
Adjusting the time forward, about an hour had passed, at 2:13 in the morning, I suddenly opened my eyes and stood up from the bench with an expressionless face.
Then, I walked to the position where the monitor was locked, slowly raised my head, raised the corners of my mouth, and showed a weird sneer to the camera...
